Assume they win with probability 1 I would not assign that probability at all. The small claims system is actually designed to be fair! Going in all lawyered

Assume they win with probability 1 I would not assign that probability at all. The small claims system is actually designed to be fair! Going in all lawyered up is more likely to raise eyebrows and could be counter productive. The whole point is a quick and easy process with the minimum of fuss. You present your argument and they present theirs and a general test of reasonableness is applied. More Judge {Rinder|Judy} and less Rumpole of the Bailey.
